    Angry Birds... I don't get it.

    a lot of haters are hating because rovio is swimming in cash with the amount of ppl who bought this game at $1-$5 a pop and even the ad revenue that comes streaming down from the free version it's not the best game, but it's a decent one for a mobile platform and great to waste time on the...

    3D Compatible HTPC?

    What would I need to bring my HTPC up to spec for 3D Bluray and *ahem* 3D mkv's? I just bought on BF the Sony KDL-NX810 55" LED that is 3D capable. Plan on getting the 3D glasses set soon once I get a good price for it. I currently have a cheap SFF box for my HTPC, I'm pretty sure it wont...

    I think the hero of the game is not Ron Artest, but Phil Jackson for leaving him in the game after that ridiculous play.

    i dont think Joakim Noah can play with Lebron. Remember how Lebron was dancing on the sidelines during a regular season game and Noah got hit with a tech after saying something to James? Noah was probably the one dancing yesterday. they need a big man with the bulls, and I have doubts about...

    they say one thing but do another. everyone has a price. EVERYONE. put yourself in his shoes, would you take a max deal, or rather get a ring? if i were him, i would want both, but money definitely comes first while you still can do it.

    man, thanks for clearing it up in other words, I (or the gf/fiance whatever, as long as I don't get married this year) shouldn't even file a 1040x for 2009, correct? the 5405 should only be filed with 2010 tax return. i guess my confusion was that the credit must be claimed this year, with...

    Newegg Video Reviews

    Newegg's reviews were pretty decent in terms of people's knowledge (except if you're looking at AMD/Intel processors then the flamboyant fanboyism takes over). But I sure don't need video review like i'm going to buy.com or amazon! Just noticed video reviews for the first time...

    Driving in Italy (or the EU in general)

    yeah i know about manual shift, that they charge an arm and a leg (per person!) for an automatic. we're going to land in florence via rome but stay out in the suburbs in tuscany, so a car is a must. i mean florence you can still get by with bus, but outside of it, i guess it's impossible.
